Lesson Details

First off, music should be fun. I like to create a fun open atmosphere that is challenging intellectually. I will try to provide students with as much knowledge as possible to create the sound and type of music that they would like to play. We will do this by working on these building blocks for percussion: Learning to read music Learning to write music Understanding rhythm Coordination between different limbs Proper technique for holding sticks
